Describe convergent, explanatory sequential, and exploratory sequential mixed methods designs.

What will be an ideal response?


The convergent mixed methods design is when a researcher collects both qualitative and quantitative data at the same time, analyzes them separately, and then compares the results to determine if the findings are similar or dissimilar. An explanatory sequential mixed methods design occurs in two phases, the first being quantitative and the second being qualitative. The quantitative data are analyzed first and used to inform the second phase. An exploratory sequential design also occurs in two phases, the first being qualitative and the second being quantitative. The goal of an exploratory model is to explore a topic with a smaller sample of participants so that a later quantitative phase can better meet the needs of the researchers.
